* "prop|sourceURL" uses the standard CSS3 notation for XML qualified
names. To make it simple, this notation only works within CSS3 selectors.
* xpath('property(prop|sourceURL)') means: evaluate XPath expression
'property(prop|sourceURL)'.
You'll find the documentation of the property() XPath extension function
here:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/xpathextfunc.html
Note that the "prop|sourceURL" notation is not supported by this XPath
extension function.
You need to specify:
xpath('property("{http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/namespace/property}sourceURL";)')
